Students' performance scores in a statistic test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 4.0. The scores obtained can be modeled by a normal distribution. Find the probability that the score of a randomly selected student is i. more than 80 marks ii - Containers
One in eight containers is temporarily misplaced. A random sample of 12 containers is selected. What is the probability that 6 of these containers will be temporarily misplaced? - Bulb life
Tests show that the lives of light bulbs are normally distributed with a mean of 750 hours and a standard deviation of 75 hours. Find the probability that a randomly selected light bulb will last between 675 and 900 hours. - 3 pens
3 pens are to be taken from a bunch of 100 pens.If 10 pens are defective, find probability of getting all good pens. - And or logic
If A and B are events with P(A)=0.3, P(A OR B)=0.76, and P(A AND B)=0.04, find P(B). Enter your answer in decimal form, rounded to one place. - And - or probability rules
Given P(A)=0.4, P(B)=0.56, and P(A and B)=0.274, find the value of P(A or B), rounding, if necessary. - The profit 3
